Errata: Vol. 64, No. 1

In the third paragraph, the first sentence should read "For 26 notifiable diseases examined for 2007–2011, a total of 9,061,675 cases were recorded (Table)." The third sentence should read, "Missing data on race ranged from 0.8% for tuberculosis to 42% for giardiasis."

In the fourth paragraph, the first sentence should read, "Of the 12 diseases with race information for >70% of records and for which rates were higher among AI/ANs than among whites, the largest difference was for hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, which was reported 10 times more often among AI/ANs than among whites; however, only 20 cases were reported among AI/ANs of a total of 112 cases reported during 2007–2011." The second sentence should read, "The second largest difference was for tularemia, which was reported 7.7 times as often among AI/ANs."

On page 17, the Table should have read as follows:
